Whenever you may go, you will see disposable materials, from utensils, bottles, papers, cars, and mobile phones.
After a disposable item has served its purpose, it is thrown away and forgotten.
But the saddest thing to think about is the disposable love, disposable relationship, disposable family, and disposable faith in God.
Amid these disposable things around, we still want to preserve our life.
We are all lovers of life, and in our little ways we would like to protect and preserve this life.
Life is so important for us. We all want to stay for good, but we have only one life to live.
Each of us will have only one lifetime on Earth, and we don’t want to squander it. We all know that when it is gone, it will never come back.
One singer said ‘Love the life you live. Live the life you love’.
At least we know, our life is not a disposable one.
“For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” (Rom 14:8).
In God’s eye, our life is not disposable, so don’t throw it away. Don’t live your life as if you are inside a bin.
We are all the navigators of our life and with the help of the Holy Spirit we will reach our destination safe and sound.
Life is too short to squander. We should carry with us always, in our hearts, the Word of God.
He will take care of us and protect us amid this disposable generation.
Be like Christ in whatever you do, be like Christ in whatever you say, and be like Christ in wherever you want to go.
